U. S. Spending Reveals Many Inequalities In Taxes North Carolina Schools Suffer Most Directly Pays Highest Federal Tax Of Any State In Union $80.27 PER PERSON New York.—By outright gifts, by loans secured and unsecured and by expenditures for the normal costs of maintaining government, the United States expended more than 11 thousand million dollars last year. To meet this tremendous outlay, the Government levied taxes, col-, lected the receipts of its customs duties and borrowed the remainder. The bulk of the money was bor rowed. In total the borrowing ex ceeded eight thousand million dol lars. To answer in definite form the questions being asked more and more frequently: "Where does the, money come from?" and "Where: does the money go?” the Hearst newspapers presented last Sunday an itemized report showing the na- j tion’s revenues and its extraor- j dinary or emergency expenses. The Federal budget for normal i expenditures, totaling more than three thousand million dollars, pur posely was omitted from the report. From the table of Federal reve nues, as presented by the Hearst | newspapers, one fact stands out with startling clarity. The present Federal taxing system results in gross inequalities. The people of North Carolina, for example, pay $260,405,991 in taxes, or at the rate of $80.27 per person. The bulk of this total comes from the levy on tobacco. The people of North Carolina pay the highest per capita Federal tax of any State in the country. Whether there is direct connection may be questioned, but the fact remains that «8whcFe4fi tfee United States has education suffered more severely during the depression than in this same State.

New York State contributed more than 21 per cent, of the total, the amount collected from the State being $568,022,279, or at the rate of $43.88 per capita. The little State of Delaware,' with a population of only 240,000 ! paid in $18,018,636, or at the rate of $75.07 per capita. But Delaware, must be classed as an exception, j There are hundreds of corporations] doing business in other States which for various reasons, maintain their] home offices in Delaware. The Government, collecting an income tax both on corporations and individuals, receives as a result in unusually large sum from Dela ware. But Virginia, another tobacco state, paid in $122,662,243 last fear, at the rate of $5 0.37 per per ;on. i Compare these figures with those :or half a dozen other States chosen it random. New Mexico paid no gift tax at ill, contributed only $8 as a result >f the tobacco tax and wound up :he year with a total payment of >870,198, or at the rate of $2.02 For each if its 431,000 citizens. It was Mississippi, however, that ihouldered the least burden of all states last year. The State paid n $2,315,293, which compared vith its population of 2,036,000, howed a per capita tax of only 11.13. The Federal tax, figured on a per :apita basis, was $1.90 in South Dakota; in North Dakota it was i 12.52; in California it was $25.72, ,nd in Illinois it amounted to 127.73. Crack Safe Of Concord Store Concord.—Striking with swift - and unerring accuracy, expert ' veggmen cracked the safe at Efird’s ■ department store, in the heart of | the city’s business section, Monday ! night or early Tuesday morning I and got away with between $1,500 and $2,000 in cash, the exact . amount not having been immedia tely determined. It is believed to be the largest robbery in Concord’s history. Entrance was gained by prying the lid of a trapdoor on the roof, the thieves reaching the second floor interior by gaining foothold on a row of shelves. From that point the distance to the office on the mezzanine, where the safe is kept, is but a short flight of stairs. JCity police officers who invest igated were unable to find anything that even remotely resembled a clue. Some folk's object to getting their hands dirty, but they might be reminded that there is such an article as soap which can be had most anywhere.

Cotton Yield Is Steady In State Late Conditions Show Promise of Heavier Crop, State Firm North Carolina’s expected cot ton yield for 1934 changed but lit tle in October as compared with the figures for August and Septem ber, but the production is estimated at 7 per cent higher or 22 pounds more to the acre than on Novem ber 1, 1933, by the statistical divi sion of the state department of agriculture. The report indicated production of 650,000 bales for the current year with an acreage yield of 322 pounds. Ginnings to November 1 totalled 388,000 bales or 60 pet cent, less than the 82 per cent for the southern states as a whole. The indicated yield per acre for North Carolina is far above com parative figures for any of the other heavy producing cotton states of the south. South' Carolina was second in this respect with 262 pounds expected .per acre, but the anticipated yield in that state was 595.000 bales or more than for Tar Heel planters. The estimated yield in North Carolina to September 1 was 32 5 pounds per acre and the forcast was for 656,000 bales, showing only slight decreases to November. Weather conditions, the report pointed out, have continued good. For the cotton states as a whole, the yield per acre showed a steady increase, the improvement being from 163 pounds in September to 169 on November 1. The produc tion prospect increased from 9, 252.000 bales two months ago to 9.634.000 this month, the report stated. The North Carolina per acre yield increased 22 pounds over 1933, while that for the.entire na tion dropped from 208.5 to 169 pounds. The statistical report carried thg following observation on condi tions: "The state has been greatly fav ored this year. Tobacco, hay, po tatoes, fruits, peanuts, and cotton have been good. Small grains were only fair. With good prices avail able for these products, there should be little excuse for the farmers not being able to pay up most of their debts.” DR. REYNOLDS GETS POST Dr. Carl V. Reynolds of Ashe ville, president of the State Board of Health, was elected acting state health officer, and he will succeed to the post held by Dr. James Par rott, who died last week. —Buy In Salisbury— iSHm 11 'HCSa ' v-iy •' LOOK WHO’S COMING I BUSTER BROWN I AND HIS DOG TIGE I BUSTER, Himself, a real live erson I TIGE, Himself, a real live dog | Come on and meet both of them.
